CRESCENDO. A new film from Oscar-nominated and César winning filmmaker Agnès Jaoui, part of the official selection at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. Starring Agnès Jaoui, Daniel Auteuil, Eye Haïdara, Claire Chust, Oussama Kheddam and Lucie Gallo. In cinemas across France now - and coming soon internationally.

In the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre in the South of France, the cast and crew of an ambitious staging of The Marriage of Figaro is thrown off balance when troubling accusations threaten to derail the entire production. As tensions intensify, loyalties slowly fracture and deep generational disagreement emerges, throwing their sheltered opera world into a great divide.
